## Story

Service Experts, one of the U.S.’s largest residential HVAC service providers, Tuesday announced the signing of a three-territory franchise agreement in Colorado. The deal will bring the brand to Colorado’s Front Range region, specifically the Longmont, Fort Collins, and Greeley markets.

Mitch Rose and Chandler Sykes will serve as owner-operators for the three locations. Rose is pivoting to entrepreneurship after a 28-year career at Seagate Technology, where he ultimately rose to Director of Project Management for Digital Storage. Sykes brings experience growing a new business to the table, as she previously founded the Boco Baby brand of handmade baby clothes in 2010 and grew it from an Etsy store to a recognized name.

“Mitch and Chandler bring strong business leadership, operational discipline and a customer-first mindset that fits our brand,” said Nick Ridgway, Vice President of Franchise Development for Service Experts. “They know how to build teams, create systems and grow a customer-focused business, making them a great addition to our franchise network.”

Rose and Skyes expect to open their first location this fall. They ultimately chose to franchise with Service Experts because the brand offered both strong infrastructure and the ability to guide the business in personalized ways that suited their experience and home market.

“I’ve spent my career building businesses within larger organizations, and Service Experts gives us the opportunity to do that in a way that’s hands-on and impactful,” said Rose. “The systems are already there, the brand is established, and now it’s about executing at a high level and building something meaningful for our customers and our team.”

“This is the best of both worlds,” said Sykes. “You have the support, structure and community of an established brand, but the opportunity to build something local and personal. For us, that means creating a business where customers feel safe, respected, and cared for every time we enter their home.”

Moving forward, Service Experts is actively seeking to connect with experienced professionals like Mitch Rose and Chandler Sykes across the country who are interested in providing a growing essential service with emphasis on service excellence and customer satisfaction. The brand’s franchise platform currently includes more than 75 locations across 35 states.
